Compounds of this invention and the salts thereof possess central nervous system modifying activity, particularly as depressants and are therefore useful as tranquilizers. They may be administered orally or parenterally in the form of tablets, capsules, elixirs, injectables, or the like, by incorporating the appropriate dosage of the compound of Formula I or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof in a dosage range similar to that used with chlordiazepoxide.

The compounds of this invention may be prepared by the following novel process. Thiosalicyclic acid, salicyclic acid or an X-substituted derivative thereof is condensed with a nitro-compound having a Formula II wherein R and R are as defined hereinabove. This condensation yields a product having Formula III wherein Z is oxa or thia and R and R are as defined above. The acid group is converted to an ester (e.g., methyl ester) and then treated with a reducing agent. Any reducing agent may be utilized in the practice of this invention such as iron-acetic acid, tin-hydrochloric acid, with the preferred reducing agent being stannous chloride.

The product formed has the Formula IV:

I IER wherein X, R, R and n are as hereinabove described. Compound IV is heated to form the novel intermediate ring Compound V:

Alternately, Compound V may be prepared by treating Compound III with stannous chloride and the resulting amino acid heated in the same manner as utilized in the conversion of Compound IV to Compound V. Compound V is then condensed with an aminoalkyl halide of the Formula B--AY or R Y wherein B, A and R are as hereinbefore defined and Y is halide, e.g., bromine, chlorine, and so forth, to give Compound I. This reaction is preferably conducted by heating the reactants in the presence of a basic condensing agent, such as an alkali metal, an alkali metal amide (e.g., sodamide), or an alkali metal hydroxide. In some cases where R is -AB in Compound I, it is preferred to react Compound V with Y ---AY to give a compound where This material is then heated with H-B in an inert solvent as benzene or toluene. To form the acid-addition salts or the quaternary ammonium salts, the free base initially formed is interacted with at least one equivalent of the desired acid or quaternary ammonium hyrdocarbon halide.

Suitable derivatives of thiosalicylic and salicylic acid are:

3-butyl-2-mercaptobenzoic acid; 4-octyl-2-mercaptobenzoic acid; 3=methyl-5-butyl-2-mercaptobenzoic acid; 3-isobutoxy-2-mercaptobenzoic acid; 6-methyl-2-mercaptobenzoic acid; 5-amino-3-heptyl-2-mercaptobenzoic acid; 3,5-dichloro-2-mercaptobenzoic acid; 3,4,5,6-tetrafluoro-2-mercapto-benzoic acid; 4-pentylthio-Z-mercaptobenzoic acid; S-trifluoromethyl-2-mercaptobenzoic acid; 4-isopropyl-Z-hydroxybenzoic acid; 3,4,5,6-tetramethyl-Z-hydroxybenzoic acid; 3-methyl-5-butyl-2-hydroxybenzoic acid; 4-isobutoxy-2-hydroxybenzoic acid; 4-cyano-2-hydroxybenzoic acid; 6-pentoxy-Z-hydroxybenzoic acid; 3-bromo-2-hydroxybenzoic acid.

The reactants of Formula II may be prepared by the reacting of an aldehyde having the formula R-CHO with a nitroalkane of the formula R CH NO wherein R and R are defined above. Examples of Compound II are 1- 3,4-dichlorophenyl -2-nitroethene;

1- (2,3 ,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl -2-nitroetheue;

1- 2,6-dichloro-3-methoxyphenyl -2-nitrobutene; 1 Z-furyl -2-nitro ethene;

1- Z-thiophene -2-nitroethene;

1- (2-pyridyl -2-nitroethene;

1- 3,4-dimethylphenyl -2-nitroethene;

l- 2,5 -dioctylphenyl -2-nitrobutene;

l- 2-hyroxyphenyl -2-nitrobutene;

l- (4-isopropoxyphenyl -2-nitrobutene;

and so forth.

Compound I wherein R and R together is oxo (0:) may be reduced as by treatment with a reducing agent such as lithium aluminum hydride in an organic solvent such as ether or tetrahydrofuran to give the compound wherein R and R are hydrogen.

The nitro-derivatives of the instant invention, wherein X is nitro, maybe prepared by reacting Compound V with fuming nitric acid. The product recovered may then be reduced to form an amino derivative. The hydroxy derivative of Compound V may be formed by reacting a compound wherein X is alkoxy with concentrated hydrochloric acid or with pyridine hydrochloride. Final product V may be converted to its corresponding sulfone and sulfoxide derivatives by oxidation. Compound V may be reacted with hydrogen peroxide to yield the sulfoxides while if it is reacted with potassium permanganate, the sulfones will be produced.
